The new facility will include a large hangar, a comprehensive parts depot, and a full suite of maintenance services such as scheduled and aircraft modifications, paint modification, AOG and other capabilities.
Bombardier has officially launched its new service centre at Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE). The new facility is Bombardier’s first full-service facility in the UAE, and it continues the company’s long-term commitment to customers in this critical market. When fully operational, the new OEM-operated service facility will create more than 100 aerospace jobs in the community, solidifying Bombardier’s presence in this important financial hub. The new facility, which is scheduled to open in 2025, will help Bombardier continue to expand and grow its aftermarket revenues beyond 2025.
“The Middle East is an important market for Bombardier with more than 150 aircraft, and we are pleased to be establishing a highly efficient facility in the UAE for our customers in the market – and for those visiting from around the world,” said Éric Martel, President and CEO, Bombardier. “Abu Dhabi is a dynamic financial hub for business and commerce in the UAE, and this service facility will provide significant benefits, quick aircraft turnarounds, and OEM peace of mind to our growing customer base. We are also thrilled to be providing new, high-paying aerospace jobs in the community,” he further added.
The new facility will be able to service the Bombardier flagship of a new era, the Global 8000, when it enters service in 2025, and will be able to fit up to four Global 7500 aircraft. It will provide the most comprehensive maintenance solution for our local and global customers of Bombardier’s Learjet, Challenger, and Global aircraft families.
Jamal Salem Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Abu Dhabi Airports, added: “Abu Dhabi Airports is pleased to welcome Bombardier to Abu Dhabi and the UAE, home to its first full-service facility in the UAE. Located at Abu Dhabi International Airport, one of the fastest growing airports in the world, we have no doubt that Bombardier’s global aviation leadership, experience, and expertise will be a catalyst for invaluable service delivery and excellence, upon the facility’s official unveiling. We look forward to supporting Bombardier in the years ahead to witness the company’s contributions to business travel in the UAE and the region as well as the aviation sector and economy. The presence of Bombardier underlines Abu Dhabi Airports commitment to general aviation, and is a major step forward to make Abu Dhabi the hub for general aviation in the region.”
